hey fellas,
i just got a stolen wrap for christmas, and i'm trying to get it set up. although i have only worked on mountain bikes in the past and have no experience setting up a bmx, i think i have done a pretty good job of getting everything set up. i do have a few questions though. firstly, dan's comp only sent the bike with one chain tensioner on the drive side. is this ok, or should i bug them to send me another? also, with the bikes, i have only ridden it for about 5 minutes, but the brakes won't stop me too well. the setup feels fine, the brake just won't grab a firm enough hold of the rim to stop the bike. will this issue fix itself as i ride a little more? i know with disc brakes you have a break in period, is it the same with u-brakes? finally, the frame has removable gyro tabs, and although i remove the screws holding them into the head tube, i can't get them to come off. is there a special thing i need to do to get them off without damaging anything? cheers guys.
